Newcomer / Intro Use our ship on ground missions

Don´t know if it has already been asked but can we use our own ship instead of a shuttle to go to a ground mission location?

Cheers
 
Of course you can.

I suggest not landing on the pad, though. Land a bit outside, say 400-500m, then walk in. You can always run back to your ship to resupply, or get away. It won't usually get fired upon that far out, but be careful anyway.

If you set off the alarms at an active base, and it has turrets, they will try to shoot you down, so be aware of that as well.

Thank you! Will try next time :)

I do all my on-foot missions in my ship. As has been said, I'll land 4-500m away to prevent ship destruction but I'll often drive in using a scorpion SRV. This has the advantage of vehicle weaponry (underpewered IMHO) and the fact you can offload goods/assets/data and swap loadouts quite quickly if required.

Do keep one eye peeled on scav watch though. I've had a fair few SRVs boiled up when doing stuff in buildings.

Maybe you could take another player along in the second seat of the Scorpion to make them keep their distance.

It's kind of cheesy but you really don't need to be on foot for any missions unless you need to get something.
1. Very easy way is to carpet bomb the base then it's all yours till they respawn.
2. Easy way is to just bring in your Scarab or Scorpion and shred the base then it's yours till respawn.
3. Fun way is to do both just for kicks and giggles...:)

---- WARNING ---- Any of the above you'll get in trouble though. But crime in this game is like dropping a candy bar on a clean table with the 5 second rule, well I suppose the 30 second rule....LOL

Have fun Commander....o7
 
When approaching site with an SRV, I generally park it next to a big wall on the outskirts of the settlement, so that no NPCs see it, just in case things escalate and I need a quick way out.
